Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9208568A1] A laser alignment system includes a probe head assembly (38) mounted for linear articulation in mutually perpendicular X, Y and Z axes, with respect to a reference plane (42). In a four axis version of the system, a laser probe (82) is further mounted for rotation about a V axis relative to the reference plane. Adjustment means are provided to ensure that a laser beam (140) emitted by the probe is perpendicular to the V axis and intersects the V axis. In a five axis version of the system, the laser probe (204) is further rotatable about a W axis perpendicular to the reference plane. This version further incorporates a means to translate the laser beam (210) so that the beam, when perpendicular to the reference plane, coincides with the W axis.
